Why Buy a Diamond

March 1, 2016/ BY Coster Diamonds

Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Diamonds are a girls’ best friend’? Do you think it is true? Nowadays, we have the option to choose from a verity of materials that are used to create marvelous pieces of jewelry. But what makes the diamond so special? Why invest in a diamond?

This marvel of a shiny stone dazzled people since its discovery around 400 BC. It captured men and women alike with its magnificent glow and inexplicable magical properties. It has also been confirmed that it is the most robust material ever known to man.

Kings and queens used diamonds to adorn their crowns, and people of all nations and classes could not wait to get their hands on this precious stone. Unlike other materials, the diamond does not seem to lose its value, brilliance and overall greatness. People around the world dream of having at least one piece of diamond jewelry; this gem just seem to have that something—a sprinkle of magic, if you will that simply makes you feel wonderful.

Buying a diamond is a considerably big investment, and there are a few factors to be considered before making the purchase. It comes not only in various different shapes and sizes but also different colors.
According to popular belief, different diamonds have different meanings. You can choose from deep to light red (resembling more of a pink hue) that denotes passion and commitment, or you can choose a more royal approach and gift someone with a deep blue stone. There is a plethora of options out there when it comes to its design too. You can choose from tear shaped diamonds, round as well as square cuts. The sky is the limit.

However, expense wise, they are the most pricy decision you can make. Many people refrain from investing in such a treasure, but what they do not realize is that a diamond lasts for a life time. It is not a piece of clothing or even a car that can be replaced easily. No, each and every piece of diamond is different—unique to say the least. If you already splurge your money on various things, do not opt out of making this once-in-a-lifetime investment, simply because it is a bit more expensive than all the other options.

Wedding proposals and marriage are a huge deal, and buying a diamond engagement ring will only add to the beauty of the moment. It is considered as a true symbol of love, commitment and “durability”, which marriage definitely requires.

Overall, there is definitely something inexplicably magical about this gem, and it seems like it continues to capture hearts throughout the ages. Additionally, it seems like they are not just girls’ best friend… Kings and queens used it in ancient times, actors and actresses love to show off their bling on the red carpet and stay-at-home moms cannot wait to put them on for their special evening out. Thus, even if the reason seems intangible as to why buy a diamond, if you can afford it, go ahead and get one, you will not regret it.
